Tasting Notes
Rich new oak notes with bright cherry, white pepper and cloves in the nose. Cranberry, pomegranate and red raspberry flavors accented by the classic “Russian River” spice. Cream background ends with a lengthy finish.
2005 Selby Pinot Noir
Russian River
Rich , explosive, supple, bright, subdued, tight, expansive, spicy , toasty, complex - all in one glass of wine? Naturally, I ‘m talking about Pinot Noir, one of my Dad’s favorite wines and a pivotal part of our collection.
